in the image displayed on the monitor and shot images under certain environmental
conditions (temperature etc.) and camera settings.

Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena
occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device
internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup
device that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with ahigh ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera
activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 91)

Shooting with long exposure time (BULB/TIME)
Use for night landscapes and fireworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB] or[LIVE TIME].

• We recommend using a single group of up to three remote flash units.
• Remote flash units cannot be used for second curtain slow synchronization or anti-shock
exposures longer than 4 seconds.
• If the subject is too close to the camera, the control flashes emitted by the camera flash
may affect exposure (this effect can be reduced by reducing the output of the camera
flash by, for example, using a diffuser).
• The upper limit of flash synchronization timing is 1/160 sec. when using the flash in RC
mode.

Other external flash units
Note the following when using a third-party flash unit mounted on the camera hot shoe:• Using obsolete flash units that apply currents of more than about 24 V to the X-contact will
damage the camera.
• Connecting flash units with signal contacts that do not conform to Olympus specifications
may damage the camera.
• Set the Shooting mode to M, set the shutter speed to a value no higher than flash
synchronous speed, and set ISO sensitivity to a setting other than [AUTO].
• Flash control can only be performed by manually setting the flash to the ISO sensitivity
and aperture values selected with the camera. Flash brightness can be adjusted byadjusting either ISO sensitivity or aperture.
• Use a flash with an angle of illumination suited to the lens. Angle of illumination is usually
expressed using 35-mm format equivalent focal lengths.

128 ENElectronic Viewfinder (VF-4)
The VF-4 electronic viewfinder switches on automatically when you look through it.
While the viewfinder is on, the camera monitor display is switched off. You can selectwhether to automatically switch the display between the viewfinder and monitor using
the menu settings. Note that menus and other settings information are still displayedon the camera monitor when the viewfinder is switched on. Refer to the documentation

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on acircuit different from that to which the receiveris connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
• Only the OLYMPUS-supplied USB cableshould be used to connect the camera to
USB enabled personal computers.

Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliancecould void the user’s authority to operate theequipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolledenvironment and meets the FCC radio frequency(RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment hasvery low levels of RF energy that are deemed
to comply without testing of specific absorption
rate (SAR).

9SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The available scientific evidence does not showthat any health problems are associated withusing low power wireless devices. There is no
proof, however, that these low power wirelessdevices are absolutely safe. Low power Wirelessdevices emit low levels of radio frequency energy(RF) in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce healtheffects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level
RF that does not produce heating effects causes
no known adverse health effects. Many studiesof low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmed by additional
research. IM001 has been tested and found tocomply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposurerules.
